Data Center Engineering and Operations Ehs Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Herndon, VA

This role is for an Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Engineer in NVIDIA's Data Center Engineering and Operations team. The primary focus is ensuring compliance with EHS regulations and company programs within data centers and laboratories, particularly in the eastern US. Responsibilities include coordinating with various stakeholders, reviewing non-routine experiments, ensuring safety during equipment testing and cooling system deployment, conducting training, managing chemical and waste processes, and leading audits. While the role mentions leveraging AI to improve processes and integrating autonomous solutions into documentation, the core function is EHS compliance and safety engineering, not direct AI/ML development or deployment.
